Comparison of swimming speed among the OVX, OVX-LN 10, OVX-LN 50, OVX-Est and OVX-Est-LN 50 groups. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. (n = 8 in each group). The OVX-LN 10 and OVX-LN 50 groups were treated with daily injections of 10 and 50 mg/kg L-NAME, respectively, from the day after ovariectomy until the beginning of the behavioral study. The animals in the OVX-Est group were treated with weekly injections of estradiol valerate (2 mg/kg; i.m.). The animals in the OVX-Est-LN 50 group were treated with weekly injections of estradiol valerate (2 mg/kg; i.m.) and received daily injections of 50 mg/kg L-NAME. There were no significant differences in swimming speed among the groups.
